NOAA's #GreatLakes Environmental Research Lab will be taking an "indefinite hiatus" from communications due to staff cuts. GLERL communicates critical weekly updates about the extent of harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie - like the one that left my hometown of Toledo without drinking water in 2014

I never ever ever want to fucking hear another person say "why didn't she come forward" about a rape victim. Rapists almost always get away with it, even when the courts have proven it and the perpetrators are covered across international media.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Tate left the US (and UK) because he thought it would be easier to get away with (multiple) crimes somewhere else. Pretty compelling evidence that the US federal government is now an anti-American criminal enterprise.

There’s a great quote in THE MARK INSIDE where a 1920’s con man says that the perfect victim is not a stupid man, but a man who’s made his fortune in one specific field, because these men assume they’re brilliant in all other things and believe they can’t be fooled.

As a former sbux barista, seeing the frappuccino phased off the menu is an OMG ABOUT FUCKING TIME moment. Frapps were time sucks, the blenders a bitch to keep clean, and way too many white girls added ridiculous bullshit & sent it back. Fuck those assholes. Also, fuck Starbucks and its union busting

At some point alot of people in the news decided that every American political event happens in a dimension absent of any question of morality and can only be spoken about in terms of who scored a “political touchdown” and not 150,000 additional children going hungry because that’s “fair”

I mean it in all seriousness when I say if the Democratic Party is to have a future, it is beyond essential that the Hochuls Schumers Carvilles and Pelosis are removed from it and have no say or sway over any of it's processes or decisions and this happening asap is a matter of national interest.

"The Black mentor class is being fired, not just on television but throughout America." And that's why it will never be enough to "express sympathies" and send "thoughts and prayers". If you want to make a difference, hire, platform, support, and put on Black folks. Anything less is cheap talk.

Grijalva is recuperating from lung cancer treatments. Petterson had a baby three weeks ago. Wilson has been habitually absent this year. No idea on Mullin. There are three hard no votes on the budget, which would make it 214-214. If any of these Dems show up it gets even harder for Republicans.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't
